Booster COVID-19 mRNA vaccinations marginally increase the durability of neutralizing antibody responses

Researchers investigated the immunological mechanisms behind the decreasing efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines by evaluating the durability and magnitude of neutralizing antibodies and memory B and T cell responses to booster doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Scientists develop new receptor “decoy” drug that potently neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 variants

Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a drug that potently neutralizes SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 coronavirus, and is equally effective against the Omicron variant and every other tested variant.

Study identifies characteristics linked with higher likelihood of post COVID-19 condition diagnosis

Many studies have described a variety of long-term effects of COVID-19, with symptoms including fatigue and malaise, breathing difficulties, and cognitive problems, often referred to as post COVID-19 condition or long COVID.

Air pollution-triggered immune surveillance deficits in the lungs increase the risk of respiratory diseases with aging

Researchers highlighted the significance of air quality in preserving immune health over the human lifespan, especially lung-related immunity, owing to the lungs' continuous exposure to the environment.

Pre-existing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may increase the breadth of mRNA vaccines, study suggests

Nearly three years into the pandemic, many of us now carry antibodies against the virus - due to an infection or two, a few doses of mRNA vaccine, or a round of monoclonal-antibody treatment.

COVID-19 vaccination may cause temporary menstrual disturbances in adolescent girls

The Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine may increase the risk of menstrual disturbances in adolescent girls in their first cycle after vaccination.

Machine learning analysis suggests that there are four sub-phenotypes of long COVID

Researchers identified PASC [post-acute sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] sub-phenotypes depending on conditions diagnosed within 1 to 3 months of acute infection by SARS-CoV-2.

6 Dec 2022

Is remdesivir treatment associated with reduced risk of inpatient mortality among US patients hospitalized with COVID-19?

Researchers assessed the effect of remdesivir on inpatient COVID-19-associated mortality among individuals hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 infections in an enormous dataset of US residents beyond clinical trial settings.
